A few years ago Google rocked my world by releasing the first version of Google Chromecast. I loved it! It turned any television into a smart TV, instantly … and for an amazingly low price. Since then, the whole chromecast ecosystem has become more extensive and useful. I use my original chromecast every day and I can’t wait to try the newest version, now with a great Google TV interface. Read on to learn more and to find out how to enter for a chance to win one.

Chromecast changed TV watching forever

Casting from my phone to my TV still feels magical. I’ve been doing it for several years using a Google Chromecast and it amazes me how easy, effortless, and predictable casting is. Few technologies promise so much from such a tiny device and deliver beyond expectation consistently as well as a Chromecast.

And the Chromecast experience keeps getting better. At first there were only a few things we could cast: Netflix was the most important! Then Prime became available and other apps. This summer I casted NHL games from the CBC sports app. The video and audio were fantastic.

Google improved on perfection with the new Chomecast with Google TV

I rarely use superlatives for the obvious reason that few things are “always” or “never” a certain way. For example, some people say it’s always raining in Vancouver … no, it’s not! However, I can say I am always happy with my Chromecast. I rely on it for almost all of my TV viewing. It’s technology at its best because it does what I expect it to do, every time.

That’s why I can’t wait to try the new Chromecast with Google TV. This new version has a remote that you can talk to via Google Assistant integration. The remote adds more funcationality to Chromecast since you won’t have to use your phone at all if don’t want to. Also new is an interface on the television that simplifies the process of finding series you are watching or new shows you want to watch. You can read more about the new features of this device on this announcement article we posted on the blog a couple weeks ago.

I love what Google has done with Chromecast and can’t wait to find out how this new device will improve in the future. If you too want to be one of the first to own the new Google Chromecast, enter this contest for a chance to win.

  5. We have been using our Chromecast on our big non-smart television downstairs this past summer to stream workout sessions from our closed gym – and it’s excellent. Being able to do this on the larger screen (instead of a laptop) is just so much more engaging – and simple. Now it comes with a remote? Awesome.

  6. What I love most about Chromecast is that you can turn an old TV into a Smart TV. And if I won I would stream Disney.

I initially bought one for a non smart tv at home, loved it so much and bought another for what is supposed to be a smart tv but is not all that smart anymore all these years later. We love casting Prime TV, netflix and would love to explore what the new model will give us.

  22. I own a Pixel phone and I am always limited when I want to cast media to the TV. Having a new Chromecast will definitively be a great upgrade.

      Good Luck
